I feel like D) Handling costs could also decrease. More warehouses could streamline processes.

I’m leaning towards inventory costs too, but I wonder if packaging costs could be affected as well.

Handling costs could also be a factor, but I feel like they might not decrease as much as the others.

I remember a practice question about distribution networks, and I think transportation costs might actually decrease because of shorter delivery distances.

I think it might be inventory costs since more warehouses could mean less stock held in each one, but I'm not entirely sure.
